Welcome aboard. Bernie was a favourite of mine and his partnership with Buckley will be remembered for a long time. Tell him he is thought of with great affection by all the fans who watched him play.

I posted this a little while back but it’s your dad on the cover of a match programme back when he played for us - https://cdn.upthesaddlers.com/assets/original/2X/2/23349b47091c42d2a97b9611a7d43c804eed0876.jpeg
If you could get him to come along to a game or a reunion night (especially if it’s of the holy trinity of him, George Andrews and the Buck) it would probably be standing room only.

PS Back in the late 70s, I sometimes used to see your dad doing laps of my school playing field (Wood Green in Wednesbury).

bernie is a saddlers legend in my eyes - that 74-75 season was fantastic - get him to bring his boots when he comes to the banks’s he might get on if we go one down with 20 minutes to go

Used to love his role as the Buck’s protector. I wouldn’t have messed if I’d have been the centre half.

Welcome to the board.
I loved watching your dad playing for Walsall in the 70’s, he was the perfect partner for Buckley.
I’ll never forget the Man U game at Fellows Park when a certain Mr Wright and Mr Buckley were on the scoresheet - fabulous day out. The atmosphere was electric, it sounded like the whole town was in the ground.
Big, strong bruising centre forward, they don’t make them like him anymore…

Enjoyed reading a similar thread to this on the Everton forum. Before my time as a player but genuine affection to Bernie from everyone - says alot about him.
